The Weld Legacy Foundation along with the CardioVascular Institute of North Colorado will host the 27th Annual Turkey Trot Thanksgiving Race on Thursday, November 28, 2024, presented by Chevron. The race is open to participants of all ages and abilities and includes a 5K (3.1 miles) Turkey Trot and a 2K (1.2 miles) Gobbler Trek Fun Run/ Walk on a scenic, USATF-certified course.

The CardioVascular Institute of North Colorado provides cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the number one cause of death for men and women in the United States. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.

The Weld Legacy Foundation utilizes proceeds from the Turkey Trot event as individual grants that provide financial assistance to patients of the cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs who would otherwise not be able to engage in the rehabilitation program. Participating in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation through the CardioVascular Institute of North Colorado helps individuals improve strength and endurance so they may return to their usual activities and life demands as much as possible with renewed confidence.
